The Power of Good Food

Volunteer

The Gathering Place has an active roster of about 220 volunteers that volunteer daily, weekly, monthly, or once a year. With approximately 10 volunteers working our breakfast and lunch drop-ins each day, our volunteers rack up a total of 11,338 hours each and every year! And that’s just for our Drop-In Meal Program!

Add in our newly launched Garden, Community Kitchens, and Food Rescue volunteer programs, and we are sure to have over 15,000 annual volunteer hours for all of our programming.

Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers who opt to share their precious time with us, fighting to alleviate hunger in our community.
